Buveur D'Air (1/8), Vision Des Flos (10/1), Roksana (16/1), Rayvin Black (20/1), De Dollar Man (50/1)
BUVEUR D'AIR's defeat in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton showed that he's not bombproof these days, but he's nothing of the calibre of Verdana Blue to worry about here and he can get back on the winning track before he goes back to defend his Champion Hurdle crown. With Roksana likely to need this and De Dollar Man having a confidence booster, it may be left to former winner of this Rayvin Black to chase him home. Vision Des Flos may now do better after a wind operation and on the figures ought to be second, but he does have a little to prove.
